Q
What can be learned about the practice of responding to the Adhan from the actions of Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan?
A
I heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (repeating the statements of the Adhan) while he was sitting on the
pulpit. When the Mu’adh-dhin pronounced the Adhan saying, “Allahu-Akbar, Allahu Akbar”,
Muawiya said: “Allah Akbar, Allahu Akbar.” And when the Mu’adh-dhin said, “Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illal-lah (I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)”, Muawiya said, “And (so do) I”.
When he said, “Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah” (I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s
Apostle), Muawiya said, “And (so do) I”. When the Adhan was finished, Muawiya said, “O people,
when the Mu’adh-dhin pronounced the Adhan I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) on this very pulpit saying what
you have just heard me saying”.
